Unleash the power of Gen AI

with Amazon Q Business

Amazon Q Business is a generative AI–powered assistant that can answer questions, provide summaries, generate content, and securely complete tasks based on data and information in your enterprise systems. It empowers employees to be more creative, data-driven, efficient, prepared, and productive.

Unified search experience across your knowledge

Unlock the true potential of your data and content with the transformative power of generative AI. With over 40 built-in secure connectors to popular enterprise applications and document repositories like Microsoft SharePoint and Google Drive, Amazon Q Business unites your disparate data and content silos, offering a unified search experience across all your knowledge.

Amazon QuickSight

Amazon Q brings its advanced generative AI technology to Amazon QuickSight, the AWS unified business intelligence (BI) service built for the cloud. With Amazon Q in QuickSight, customers get a Generative BI assistant that allows staff to use natural language to build BI dashboards in minutes and easily build visualizations and complex calculations. Additionally, users can go beyond dashboard-delivered insights with multi-visual Q&A responses, get AI-driven executive summaries of dashboards, and create detailed and customizable data stories highlighting key insights, trends, and drivers.

Role-based permissions

Amazon Q Business is built to be secure and private, and it can understand and respect your existing identities, roles, and permissions. Leverage your existing permissions set up in Microsoft or Google. If a user doesn’t have permission to access certain data without Amazon Q Business, then they can’t access it using Amazon Q Business either.

Topic Filters

Amazon Q Business provides administrative controls, such as the ability to block entire topics and filter both questions and finalized answers using keywords. This capability helps administrators ensure that Amazon Q Business responds in a way that is consistent with your company’s guidelines.
